The upper latch assembly has a latch and a ratchet. The ratchet is displaceable between an engaging position for engaging with the latch located in a door-closed position and an initial position for making contact with the latch located in a door-open position. The coupling mechanism is displaced to the locked position when the ratchet is in the engaging position and displaced to the unlocked position when the ratchet is in the initial position.
